- Provide challenge and offer alternative solutions where applicable, using your experience from in and outside of Sky to offer a perspective on what to do
- Drive clarity where ambiguity exists – using structure, storytelling, and influence to align diverse stakeholder groups behind a common path forward.
- Implement governance and reporting structure, delivering clear, accurate and independent updates to senior executives across the business, ensuring all stakeholders are clear on status, and issues /risks are known, appraised and being mitigated
